Alfa Romeo Bike - Pretty but rubbish components

[MADJEZ]

Spotted on Alfa stand at the Festival of Speed.
Thought it looked really pretty, shame about the spec. Apparently these are about £500 !!

Pretty?!?!

It's flippin' hideous!

In the words of the great Jeremy Clarkson : "You're not a petrolhead until you've owned an Alfa".

I'm worried about reliability though. Good thing it doesn't have electric gears or anything.

Reminds me of this...

Designed by Nissan, built by Alfa...

The wheels are quite pretty. I like alternative lacing designs. Sure, they may not be as effective as the traditional 3 cross lacing, but they look interesting, and on a bike that's not being thrown off 6 foot drops, the loss of strength is of little importance.

The frameset though, looks like a £150 B'twin hybrid from Decathlon.

it looks as shit as the lamborghini bikes sold by Tesco. (or was it argos?)

being the proud, yes I did say proud, owner of an alfa that will cost me my very last penny, I would not go anywhere near that.

My other half has a Lambo bike (from Amazon). It's not that bad for a BSO, it's better built/spec than a low end Apollo/Raleigh for the same money.

Absolutely disgusting. Would anyone actually give that houseroom??
